Oh, a Boomer needs tech support, of any kind, family, friend, otherwise?
$100/h.
Stop subsidizing their utter incompetence, time for ‘tough love’.
A kid?
Like an actual kid?
Free.
How would they know any better?
But, let em know the first fix is free, on the house, next one will be $5, then $10… or, they can spend no money if they want to spend an hour getting tutored on the basics maybe once a week.
Generate fishermen, not fish.
Show them that they are capable, can learn, can solve problems… if they’re patient and humble enough to try and learn.
My older generation family members have a lot of skills and experience I also lack, and the minute I pick up the phone to ask for help they’re giving me their time for free too.
I’d rather live in a kind world where we help our little communities only because it’s the right thing to do, as long as it’s not gone to the point of being taken advantage of.

I mean, it depends on the family dynamic I guess?
